Dammit I’ve been technically corrected!

Zeeland shall rise again

Say what you will about North Korea, at least it’s not being poor in South Korea?

I think the main component of pizza is bread but you bring up a valid point

I can’t say I ever expected to see the Grand Ayatollah as a Stalin metaphor

Oh, good. I was about to give in to weakness and spend money on Space Marine 2.

Mm. 8 rated by tolerance for kinks and general desensitization. I’m not going to be shocked by most things even if I’m not into it.

4 by interest in most of them. I’d go along with most things up to mild S&M but a lot of more “extreme” stuff (to my scale) plays with degradation to one degree or another and that’s a boner killer.

That Lemmy hasn’t devolved into an incel freak show is a barely functional alliance between the left lean and heavy moderation against the fact that Lemmy skews into Extra Opinionated Redditors (aka nerdy, lonely men)

When some poor lady tried to get a TwoX going here the comment sections were always a sausage fest of attempting to mansplain away women’s personal experiences and concerns and that’s really all you need to know about things.

Dummies vs the media literate, but which side is which?!?!?

Yes, I expect basic literacy

The value of Twitter when he bought it was $44 billion. We know this because his dumb ass bought it for $44 billion.

Regardless of what a sane person would pay for it, that was the value to him and so if the next highest valuation is $9b he lost $35b of value by overpaying.

You do raise a good point though. Twitter used to be valued at $9b when its value was speculative and the company was growing, now that we know it’s shit and getting worse it’s almost certainly worth less than that too.

They’re pretty easy to counter in Rome 2, you just need to remember it’s necessary and not all-in on heavy infantry. Infantry skirmishers clap them right back to the steppes and there are good auxiliary cavalry options from the start available in Italy.

I definitely remember being frustrated when I first played it trying to chase them around with legionaries but the correct answer is don’t do that then.

Also because they were absurdly expensive for the civilizations that were using them. The loss of their chariots to Sea People invasions and the cost of replacing them is sometimes listed among the reasons for the Bronze Age collapse of the Hittites and the decline of Egypt despite their battlefield victories.

Fucking Parthian tryhards

I don’t think you should take the words of paid actors seriously in that context

And a lot of porn games

All your bases are covered

Cowards do

It’s crazy what kind of bullshit some people will spout, like CEOs taking personal responsibility.

It’s your body telling you weed is lame, do cool drugs instead.

How about “do they want just the bulbs or the pole holding it up?”
